There is not in my edition, but I have the not-watercolor cover, so it’s possible that the other edition does.
unlikely though

I don’t see any in the watercolor, either. I’ll add a warning about the text density in the voting post. Thanks!

I just obtained the second volume and wanted to show this funny situation, since I bought the first volume back when the “motto” sequel didn’t come out yet lol
so now I have a weird combo

I specifically sought out matching covers bc that would kill me slowly to know that I had mismatched books I don’t have a problem, you do!

it’s killing me but I have no choice, my copy is digital and there is no digital motto copy unless pirated or the new cover 
I even considered rebuying the first

We’re sitting at a tie so far pacing-wise.

Thanks to @bbo for voting (some time ago); looks like we’re leaning towards the slower option A. I’ll leave the polls up until we start next week.

I rescinded a vote for the faster pace to make it more decisive. I’m hoping a copy of Natsuki 3 and 4 shows up at Mandarake before we get to that series so I don’t have buy the rest digitally and have the series half physical and half digital. Maybe 3 extra weeks will help

Finished week 1. Pretty cute so far; I’m curious to see how 川村 will help or hinder our hero.

Started reading this week’s chapters! I don’t really feel it’s that wordy, it feels pretty normal. Also the language difficulty feels pretty standard to me for a highschool romcom.
第1話〜第5話
第1話こいつが中村
As expected Nakamura is so chaotic and dorky, lol. Giving great ENFP energy.
I like the drawing style, makes me feel kinda nostalgic for the hairstyles.
第2話 好き· 好き
I listened/watched this chapter also with the CD drama on YouTube and guess in what scene my husband suddenly came to see what I’m watching? 
Wth, his mind This is traumatizing me for life.
第3話 秘密のバイブル
Ohh, we have another 腐男子 here, love to see it. Please give lots of recommendations.
Hirose actually seems pretty outspoken.
第4話 能あるは
Now what did Nakamura draw, I want to know! He’s such a dramatic overthinker, great material for the anime I think.
第5話 ファンアですから!
We did the exact same thing in middle school like those girls 
(apart from shipping real people). And yes, there was one of us who could draw exceptionally well. Not me though. I was there for the wacky headcanons.
What does ファンア mean btw? I mean the last ア

The formatting for Week 5 seems a bit off (at least for me), it’s moved to the right for me.

Week 1: I quite like the art style. It made me think of School Rumble, though any high school comedy would probably do equally well as a comparison. ファンです reminded me of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki Kun. Though in that case it actually was a (miss happened) confession of love.

Ah, I was reminded of the same thing!

I took it as short for ファンアート (fan art) but I’m also not sure.
Other than that, the story didn’t go in the direction I thought it would at all! Literally the opposite. I thought 広瀬 would be the one chasing the titular character. Yes, I went through the voting and everything without even checking the blurb.

I hadn’t planned on reading this all today but you all were so active in this thread I decided to catch up with the group
I really liked the whole thing, but that first chapter was hilarious. When he stomped on the handkerchief so he could be the one who gave it to Hirose, absolutely priceless. 
I really like the expressions of all the characters… and especially the over the top reactions.
